Select Collection step limits length of collection name, leading to difficulty
in picking the correct collection.

Key: DS-1044
URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1044
Project: DSpace
Issue Type: Bug
Components: XMLUI
Affects Versions: 1.7.2, 1.7.1, 1.7.0
Reporter: Peter Dietz
Assignee: Peter Dietz
Attachments: select-collection-full-length.png,

When a user picks a collection in the submission process from the dropdown list
of all collections a string-length of max 50 is set somewhere. Users end up
trying to distinguish their collection to submit to from drop down option
values looking like this:
<div xmlns="http://di.tamu.edu/DRI/1.0/"; class="ds-form-content">
<select id="aspect_submission_submit_SelectCollectionStep_field_handle"
class="ds-select-field" name="handle" title="Select the collection you wish to
submit an item to.">
<option value="">Select a collection...</option>
<option value="2043/6050">Student Essays / Utbildningsvetenskap med
inrik...</option>
<option value="2043/4488">Student Essays / Utbildningsvetenskap med
inrik...</option>
<option value="2043/7087">Student Essays / Utbildningsvetenskap med
inrik...</option>
which is far from optimal.
The collection names seem to be shortened only in this particular display.
Anyone with ideas how to solve this, rather than shortening names of
collections?
Kind regards
Jessica Lindholm
